Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups milk Choose your favorite type—whole, skim, or a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate Use high-quality brands like Guittard or Ghirardelli.
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
  • a pinch salt Optional; balances sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, white chocolate, and vanilla extract. Add a pinch of salt if using.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir consistently with a whisk to help the white chocolate melt evenly into the milk, avoiding boiling.
  3. Continue to whisk until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg. Top with whipped cream and festive sprinkles for presentation.
